Could be a problem with the Toshiba; I know that the CMS drive that I
couldn't make work on my 560 had a "doesn't work on the following Toshibas:..."
warning in the FAQ.

On this subject let me make another plug for the IBM portable CDROM
drives (models 1969008,9,10,11).  You don't see these discussed much in
magazine reviews, but they are tiny, light, and - important for this
group - work well with Thinkpads.  Plus, they look cool:-)
